About the Author, Jon Unger

Jon Unger graduated from Harvard College in 1992. While at Harvard Law School and after a summer stint at a law firm, he quickly realized that he had no interest in a legal career. Upon graduating from HLS in 1995, Unger followed his passion for sports and education in becoming a teacher and coach at Madeira High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. As head boys varsity soccer coach, Unger's soccer program has been among Ohio's best over the past decade, culminating with State Championships in 2002 and 2003...Ohio's only back-to-back undefeated seasons in its history of boys soccer. As proud as he is of his team's success,Unger takes greater pride in how his players have conducted themselves on the field and have developed as all-around citizens.

He is married to Melissa, also a teacher, and they have recently had the blessing of a son, William. Unger has hopes that some day William will model the lessons of this book.
